The US and the UK have voiced concerns over India's insistence that Canada reduce its diplomatic presence in the country, per Reuters. This comes a day after Canada withdrew its 41 diplomats from India amid tensions over the assassination of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil. The US State Department and British Foreign Office have urged India to collaborate with Canada in the murder inquiry rather than demanding a decrease in Canadian diplomatic presence.
